“We always try to play an aggressive game because that’s Rugby League, but there’s a thin line between aggression and stupidity,” said Guisset who played for Warrington, Wigan and Catalans in his Super League playing career.

“Once you got past that line then you put yourself in the situation that some blokes might miss out, and that’s what’s happened to us. We want to be aggressive, but we don’t want to cross that discipline line. Those who have crossed that line need to make sure that it doesn’t happen again. But what it also does is give other players opportunities to show what they can do.”

After an indifferent start to the season the Catalans have forced themselves into the top eight.

“We knew when the season started that we could have a strong team if everybody was available and fit to play,” added Guisset.

“The start wasn’t good because we lost three out of our spine and only had Leon Pryce fit, having lost Scott Dureau, Brent Webb and Ian Henderson. So it was a tough ask, as we also had a few suspensions and a few injuries, but when we got bodies back we picked up confidence.
